Daniel PicardRecensioni

Figure Fantasy is a collection of Picard's photography featuring figures from series with action (Star Wars, Comic books, GI Joe, etc) performing everyday actions. The contrast does create some images that are rather amusing. There are a few blurbs in the book about how Picard things of the ideas for his photographs but these are very short, with a greater amount of the books text being the afterword written by Kevin Smith. A simple concept, decent photography that would make a suitable coffee-table-book for the more pop-culture inclined individual.½

Characters and superheros from movies doing everyday activities.

I normally do not keep books once I'm done reading them except for this one. This one will be my coffee table book. I love the pictures. They are amazing and range from Star Wars to Batman/Joker. My only gripe was the constant push for Sideshow Collectibles from all of the contributors in the book. I get it you are using their dolls in the photos but it was a bit wee too much.

This collection is bound to delight and encourages collectors of all ages to continue imagining the types of stories they'd like to see when engaging with fandom.
